SchockRazor Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 So I was browsing the internet and saw some cool futuristic military vehicles, so I decided to make a Tank! I will post here my Progress (with Pictures etc.), so if you want to give me feedback or have some ideas that could fit with this, post it! 13.04.14 So I first searched for some reference to get an Idea how the tank could look: - http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MoBU24dYClU/TNngZ57HxJI/AAAAAAAABKM/aHRTWqp4LFU/tank_3_wip_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800 - http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs9/i/2006/074/b/5/Modded_Hover_Tank_by_WARxSnake.jpg - http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=150580&d=1298728278 I liked the Track of the third one so I started with doing the tracks and then building the tank around them. 13.04.14 So now I started with the tracks: Track piece. (Those little 'noses' are for the tire of the tank) Getting the form of the track done. (Also animated, was only one option more) Note: the upper corner won't be able to be seen Close shot, so you can see how the track will work.

SIGO-Six Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Can't go wrong with sharp angles. Steep angles on the armor help to reflect incoming rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchockRazor Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Can't go wrong with sharp angles. Steep angles on the armor help to reflect incoming rounds. And then it isn't so easy to see the tank on the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightMonk Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I could argue that the form is of no purpose, complicates the structure design and makes it even more vulnerable. Todays designs are almost fleshed out, at least the designs will not differ large from each other. Think they focus on Mobility and a Low-Profile now.

Yeah, I know that that isn't very functional, but my aim is to create a futuristic looking tank, not a functional (I should've written that in my first post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIGO-Six Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Considering the US and the UK are extremely close to working prototype "active camouflage" tanks, the design may not matter much at all. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/8247967/Invisible-tanks-could-be-on-battlefield-within-five-years.html http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-14788009 If we're about to have "invisible" tanks now, imagine what future tanks could do? Man, it's only a matter of time before we start slapping railguns on them too! SchockRazor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eithrail Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Here you can see the tank as it appears at the moment in the real world, it looks incredible but a 2018-2022 launch date..... That's a lot of testing Genesis, KlasseTYP and SchockRazor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
